Opportunity Summary:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Algebra and Number Theory program is a discretionary grant opportunity that funds research across several core areas of pure mathematics, specifically algebra, number theory, representation theory, and algebraic and arithmetic geometry. In practical terms, the program is meant to support investigators working on fundamental questions about algebraic structures and their symmetries, the arithmetic properties of numbers and equations, and geometric methods that connect algebra and number theory. The funding falls under NSF’s Mathematical and Physical Sciences directorate and is categorized as Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with CFDA number 47.049. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
A significant part of the program description highlights guidance for proposals that are not standard research awards but instead support community activities such as conferences, workshops, and summer or winter schools. Anyone proposing such an event is directed to follow NSF’s separate solicitation, “Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences,†which lays out expectations about proposal content, participant support, broader impacts, and logistics. The program also spells out planning timelines that depend on the size of the conference budget request. For conference proposals requesting no more than $50,000, NSF policy allows internal review, and the program sets target submission windows tied to the event date: if the event will happen before October 1 of a given year, the proposal should be submitted in October of the previous year; if the event will occur between October 1 and December 31, the proposal should be submitted in May of that same year. For conference proposals requesting more than $50,000, the guidance is to submit about seven months before the scheduled event to allow enough time for an external peer review process.
The opportunity is listed as open eligibility (described as “unrestrictedâ€), meaning proposals are generally not limited to a narrow applicant type, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might appear in the full program text. Historically, the listing shows an annual full proposal target date of the first Tuesday in October, with an example closing date noted as the second Friday of October for the cycle shown in the record. Administrative details in the source data include the funding opportunity number PD 10 1264, an original posted date of September 10, 2010, and an archive date of November 8, 2026.
For access and submission logistics, the listing provides a Grants.gov support contact (grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov) for difficulties accessing the announcement electronically, along with a note to contact NSF if there are problems linking to the funding announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): NSF Algebra and Number Theory Program (PD 10 1264)
What is the NSF Algebra and Number Theory program?
The NSF Algebra and Number Theory program is a discretionary grant opportunity that funds research in core areas of pure mathematics, including algebra, number theory, representation theory, and algebraic and arithmetic geometry.
What kinds of research topics does this program support?
Based on the program description, the focus is on fundamental questions about algebraic structures and their symmetries, the arithmetic properties of numbers and equations, and geometric methods that connect algebra and number theory. The program explicitly names algebra, number theory, representation theory, and algebraic and arithmetic geometry as supported areas.
Which NSF directorate manages this funding area?
This opportunity falls under NSF’s Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
How is this opportunity categorized in federal assistance terms?
The listing categorizes the opportunity as “Science and Technology and other Research and Development,†with CFDA number 47.049.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. The opportunity explicitly states that cost sharing or matching funds are not required.
Does the program only fund standard research awards?
No. The program description specifically calls out proposals that support community activities (such as conferences, workshops, and summer or winter schools) as a non-standard category and provides separate guidance for those submissions.
If I want to propose a conference, workshop, or school, do I apply through this program or a different NSF solicitation?
Proposers for conferences, workshops, and summer or winter schools are directed to follow NSF’s separate solicitation titled “Conferences and Workshops in the Mathematical Sciences,†which outlines expectations for proposal content, participant support, broader impacts, and logistics.
What timelines does the program recommend for conference proposals requesting $50,000 or less?
For conference proposals requesting no more than $50,000, NSF policy allows internal review, and the program provides target submission windows based on the event date:
- If the event will occur before October 1 of a given year, submit the proposal in October of the previous year.
- If the event will occur between October 1 and December 31, submit the proposal in May of that same year.
What timelines does the program recommend for conference proposals requesting more than $50,000?
For conference proposals requesting more than $50,000, the guidance is to submit about seven months before the scheduled event to allow enough time for an external peer review process.
Why does the program mention different review processes for conference budgets at or below $50,000?
The description states that for conference proposals requesting no more than $50,000, NSF policy allows internal review. For requests above $50,000, the guidance anticipates an external peer review process, which is why a longer lead time is recommended.
Who is eligible to apply?
The opportunity is listed with open eligibility (described as “unrestrictedâ€), meaning proposals are generally not limited to a narrow applicant type, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may appear in the full program text.
